Paw It Forward Dog Training, LLC.

Paw It Forward Dog Training offers a 21-Day Board & Train Program, described as a focused, immersive experience designed to reduce anxiety, eliminate problem behaviors, and establish reliable on- and off-leash obedience. The program includes on-site activities for building routine, structure, rehabilitation for state of mind, and proofing. It also incorporates at least four off-site adventures for real-world applications once behaviors are fully proofed. Free time for play, hikes, field time, and swimming (if applicable) is also part of the program.

The business emphasizes its “Canine Neutrality Program.” During the training, clients may be invited for a mid-program mini-lesson, usually by week 2, with the possibility of a take-home night for practice and troubleshooting. However, for dogs that are severely shut down and take a week to come out of their shell, the trainer may advise the dog to stay the entire time without visits. All post-training support is free and includes gatherings, pack walks, support groups, field work, and continued access to the trainer.

Pricing Summary

The 21-Day Board & Train Program costs $2,100 for life, which includes all post-training support. Payment plans are available, allowing clients to split the payment over three weeks: $700 prior to starting, $700 at the beginning of week 2, and $700 at the beginning of week 3. The full program fee must be paid by the beginning of week 3. Failure to pay will result in loss of equipment, training for that week, and post-training support. Payments are accepted via ApplePay (preferred), Check, Cash, and Paypal (with additional fees). Boarding rates are not specified.
